Proud

The electric run pictures are out and when I saw them at first and I saw my very puffy face I was in the middle of disappointed and meh.. I thought being able to do the run maybe I would look better just like my old self. I even wore a tutu and I thought it would make me look cute. I haven't been eating more than I have before yet the water weight has not gone down. It's taking forever. I do not want to be big bloated and have a double chin. =( I know it's all superficial but I do not want to look like a slob. Yeah, yeah, I have been sick...

Sitting here now contemplating on adding the pictures to this blog I remembered, 3 months ago I couldn't even run or much less walk without having my ankles puff up like a balloon. I couldn't even stand more than a few minutes without my legs and back hurting. So as I sit here looking at these pictures I feel proud that I got to do it and survived. we ran the first maybe half mile then walked the rest of the way. No cramps, no aches and pains. We were even able to stay for the end of the run party for maybe an hour, took more pictures and went out to get drinks and food at Kush sushi bar in Silverlake.
